Respiration involves the release of energy due to the breakdown of large polymers. what type of a reaction is respiration?

Respiration is an exergonic reaction. An exergonic reaction is one in which energy is released, and as a result the products of this reaction will have less energy than the original products. Cellular respiration can also be referred to as a catabolic pathway, which means bigger molecules get broken down into smaller molecules and therefore there is extra energy at the end of the reaction.

Idont understand i'm sorry
